Sammanfattning
Poor communication between surgical and anesthesia unit personnel may jeopardize patient safety. Review reports from a national survey on patient safety performed at 17 units 2011-2013 were analyzed in order
to identify strategies to reduce risks related to the interaction between surgery and anesthesia. The reports were reviewed in this study by an independent group in order to extract findings related to communication
between anesthesia and surgical unit personnel. Suggested strategies to improve patient safety included: uniform national health declaration forms; consistent use of admission notes; uniform systems for documenting
medical information; multidisciplinary forum for evaluation of high-risk patients; weekly and daily scheduling of surgical programs; application of the WHO check list; open dialog during surgery; oral and written reports
from the surgeon to the postoperative unit; and combined mortality and morbidity conferences.
